AI image by LocalRankFrom a leaking tap to a full renovation, the right hardware shops in Singapore save a trip across the island. This guide gathers ten established stores, from big-box hardware and DIY chains to neighbourhood tool specialists and bathroom-and-kitchen fixture showrooms, that sell power tools, hand tools, plumbing and electrical bits and home-improvement supplies. Each was checked against its own website, so treat it as a shortlist to compare rather than a strict ranking.
1. Horme Hardware
Horme is a one-stop hardware and DIY retailer whose range runs from corded and cordless power tools and hand tools to plumbing, electrical, lighting, paint, safety gear and gardening supplies. It sells online with islandwide delivery and self-collection, and its own site says it offers over 100,000 products and calls its Ubi outlet one of Singapore's largest hardware stores. Alongside Ubi it runs trade centres at Changi, Woodlands and Buroh.
2. Selffix DIY
Selffix DIY is a homegrown chain that packs tools, hardware, cleaning gear, home appliances and DIY essentials into compact stores, mostly inside neighbourhood shopping malls. It stocks brands such as Black & Decker, Stanley, Philips and Yale and also sells online, and its own site says it was established in 2004 and runs eleven outlets islandwide. The mall locations make it an easy walk-in for everyday fixes rather than heavy trade jobs.
3. Mr DIY
Mr DIY is a value-focused chain selling a broad mix of hardware, household and furnishing items, electrical accessories, and stationery and sports goods across stores in malls around the island. Its Singapore site says the range runs to roughly 17,000 products, making it a convenient stop for inexpensive tools, fixings, adhesives and small home-improvement bits. It is better suited to quick, budget DIY buys than to specialist or professional-grade tools.
4. Hardware City
Hardware City positions itself as a bridge between industrial hardware and home DIY, carrying a deep range of hand tools, power tools, plumbing, electrical, lighting, safety equipment and consumables such as lubricants and adhesives. It runs an e-commerce store with islandwide delivery alongside physical retail outlets, so shoppers can order online or browse in person. The industrial slant means it also stocks specialist and safety lines beyond a typical DIY store.
5. Hoe Kee Hardware
Hoe Kee is a bathroom and kitchen fixtures specialist, stocking toilet bowls, wash basins, faucets, shower systems, sinks and taps alongside cooking appliances, fans and laundry appliances. It carries brands such as Grohe, Blanco, Bosch and KDK, and sells through both showrooms and an online store. It suits homeowners and renovators sourcing sanitary ware and fittings rather than general tools.
6. Sim Siang Choon
Sim Siang Choon is a long-running bathroom, kitchen and home-improvement specialist dealing in sanitary ware, taps, showers, sinks and related fittings. Its own site says the business was founded in 1986, carries more than 5,000 products, and runs retail showrooms at IMM and on Balestier Road backed by a large warehouse in Changi South. The showroom format makes it geared to fixtures and fittings rather than hand or power tools.
7. Intertech Hardware
Intertech Hardware is a neighbourhood DIY and home-improvement store in Pasir Ris selling power tools, paint, fix-and-repair supplies, lighting, locks and security, storage and garden goods, with brands such as Makita, Bosch and Stanley. It runs a walk-in store plus an online shop with delivery and self-collection. Being a single main location, it is straightforward to visit in person for tools and everyday DIY materials.

8. DIY Tools
DIY Tools is an online hardware store focused on power tools, air tools, metalworking, woodworking, manual and garden tools, and lists itself as an authorised supplier for brands including Einhell, Metabo and HiKOKI. It sells to the public online with delivery, self-collection and an assembly service. As an online-first shop it suits buyers who already know the tool they want rather than those wanting to browse a showroom.
9. President Trading
President Trading is a professional tools and hardware retailer stocking power tools, hand tools, measuring instruments, tool storage, work lighting, safety equipment and consumables from brands such as Milwaukee and Ridgid. Alongside its online shop it runs a physical store on Lower Delta Road that it presents as a hands-on space to try Milwaukee tools before buying. Its trade focus makes it a good fit for heavier-duty or professional-grade kit.

10. Buildmate
Buildmate is a building-materials and hardware supplier whose range spans power and laser tools, fasteners, pipes and fittings, safety products, structural steel, timber and plywood, and cement and concrete chemicals. Its own site describes it as a Singapore building-material supplier since 1978 with premises in Jurong and Eunos, and it works largely on an enquiry-and-quote basis rather than open e-commerce. It leans toward renovation and construction work, so it is most useful for larger projects and bulk supplies.
How to choose
- Match the shop to the job: a mall DIY chain is fine for a quick fix or a cheap tool, while a specialist or industrial store is better for professional-grade or heavy-duty kit.
- Check the shop actually stocks the exact brand, size or specification you need, such as the right drill bit, pipe fitting or fastener thread, before making the trip.
- For power tools, confirm it is a local-warranty set with the correct voltage and plug, and ask what after-sales service or repair support is offered.
- Weigh walk-in against online: an online store lists stock and delivers, but a physical shop lets you handle the tool and get advice from staff.
- For bigger renovation jobs, check whether the shop carries building materials or bulk supplies, offers delivery, and quotes for larger or trade orders.
